The good thing about all this is that a lot of things also combined into single languages and that you can still spool up everything you need to run on a cheap VPS or even a small computer at home. Need to build a backend? JavaScript and NodeJS. Need to query a database or store data? JavaScript and an ORM of your choice. Need to build a frontend? JavaScript and a frontend library of your choice. My point is the only thing you actually need to know is a single language and you can build anything you want. This extends to PHP with Laravel, C# and Python as well. Getting into developing things got a lot easier because you don‘t need to get into the nitty gritty of how a web or database server functions. Obviously there‘s stuff like CI/CD, logging and error tracking that‘s a lot harder to do without PaaS solutions, not to speak of scalability. But these are things that should be left to the professionals, which should absolutely learn about the core concepts of the software they‘re building and deploying. But that’s what they‘re (read: we’re) being paid for.
